Diary of an angry liberal: Woke [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-12-13 Woke I am a little surprised that a backlash against PC, cancel culture, or woke is getting the traction it is. It seems like a trivial issue considering don’t be a dick takes care of 95% of their problem, but for a republican it is difficult. It is who they are; it is what they do. The brew ha over critical race theory was straight up racism. They used this racist attack as a way to demonize the diversity equity and inclusion programs. Karens for Fasci er-uh Moms for Liberty embraced the racist bullshit. The big problem Republicans have with DEI is with equity. Equity is different from equality enforcement of equity is quite weak tea. They are bellyaching about a fairly innocuous program, and it’s the closest thing blacks and native-americans will get to reparations. That bigotry to an extent it effects some groups in the work place and legal system exists is denied by the republicans, but reality has a well-known liberal bias. A very concerning thing about the republicans decent into fascism is that their overt racism suggest their following the Nazi model over the Italian model. Making fun of people is a comedic style as old as comedy. I get why professional comedians may get defensive. Most republicans are just whine that “They won’t let us make fun of the n****rs and the ch**ks anymore” without being called out. They should realize it’s all fun and games until they’re the ones getting insulted. These dicks have no idea how much more annoying they are than the SJWs by whining about them all the god damned time. These same butt hurt bigots allege censorship, but there are few instances of state censorship; when people protest their vile affront to decency, and those with authority whether they be in the media, social media, or schools cave. That’s not censorship, its capitalism. Besides, the Christo-fascists they pal around with are worse about censorship. What is woke? It doesn’t mean anything to a republican. It is just a way for them to virtue signal that they’re bigoted fascists in good standing. I guess it started as a way to say black people were aware of discrimination. Republicans are definitely not woke; they are willfully unaware of discrimination. I am going to try to use the word woke as originally intended. (Let me know if l am off) I will not just use it in a sentence that implies its meaning. This will require background. Scott Adams, the Dilbert cartoon creator, was surprised by the results a poll done by a rightwing company saying almost half of black people did not agree with the statement “it’s OK to be white”. It turns out “It’s Ok be white” was used by white supremacists. Adams thought the poll said almost half of blacks were racists, but what it really says is half of blacks are woke to the BS of a far white fascist polling company. It also said Adams is a racist. The anals of republican cancel culture Nancy Mace(R-SC) is targeting the only trans woman in congress by passing a resolution to ban her from using the woman’s room. Strangely Mace earlier co-sponsored a pro-trans bill. I heard she changed her tune when he district changed due to redistricting. I guess her new constituency leans wackjob. “Mace on Monday filed a resolution to prohibit transgender House members and staffers from using single-sex facilities that correspond to their gender identity” Republican pettiness is what first turned me off of them. I have since concluded pettiness is a core Republican value. This level of pettiness should be beneath even this opportunistic bitch.
